A sailor is 30m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat. The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees. The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat. How far in front of the boat is the orca?

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

[tex]\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

All the comic books in a store are the same price. Vera
buys 3 comic books for $7.50. How much do 5 comic
books cost? How much do 8 comic books cost?

Answers

Answer:

The price for 3 comics is $12.50 and the price for 8 comics is $20.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the price of one comic, we can divide the price of the comics by the amount bought:

= $7.50 ÷ 3

= $2.50

Therefore, one comic is $2.50

To figure out how much 5 and 8 comics are, just multiply these numbers by the price of one:

= 5 x $2.50

= $12.50

= 8 x $2.50

= $20.00

The price for 3 comics is $12.50 and the price for 8 comics is $20.00.

On their last history test, Eric scored five more than twice the points that his friend Josh did. If they scored 134 points altogether, find Eric’s score
plz i need help ASAP

Answers

Answer: Eric got a 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Make two equations:

We know Eric scored 5 points more than 2 times Josh’s score. E=Eric J=josh

Equation: E = 5 + 2(J)

E + J = 134

Solve for E:

J= 134 - E

Plug it into first equation: E= 5+ 2(134-E)

E= 5+(268-2E) add 2E from each side

E+ 2E = 268 + 5 reduce

3E = 273 divide by 3 to find Eric score

E= 91

You can plug it back in to find what josh received 134-91 = 43

To fact check if you multiple josh score of 43 by 2 you receive 86 which is indeed 5 points lower that 91 so it’s correct.

The 12th term of the sequence is 16 the term to term rule is subtract 3.
Work out the 5th term of the sequence. *​

Answers

Answer:

a₅ = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The term to term rule ' subtract 3 ' is the common difference d of an arithmetic sequence with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁₂ = 16, then

a₁ + 11d = 16 ← substitute d = - 3

a₁ + 11(- 3) = 16

a₁ - 33 = 16 ( add 33 to both sides )

a₁ = 49 , then

a₅ = 49 + (4 × - 3) = 49 - 12 = 37

y = -1/4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the line passes trough the point (0, 2), so the y-intercept is 2.

Let's calculate the slope by using rise over run. We see for every one unit down, it goes 4 units to the right. It also goes downward, so the slope is negative. So the slope is -1/4. Put it together...

y = -1/4x + 2
